This is the one that gets everything. Follow @derek from Mastodon or any other app that speaks ActivityPub, and every post shows up in your timeline as I publish it. Replies come back here as comments, so we can actually talk.

By email
Email gets the posts I think are worth a spot in your inbox. That’s mostly the longer pieces, and I pick them one at a time. You won’t get every note or photo, and I won’t send anything else.
One email per post I pick. Unsubscribe from any of them.

The typography is great. He just needs to add comments or join the Fediverse so I can interact with his blog. Love what Matt’s…
